Design and Fabrication of Unified Car Wheel Opener

Abstract

Automotive maintenance is one of the major parameter for keeping its life span, it includes mainly change of punctured tyres, has been always a difficult task. Every automotive manufacturer provide tool such as L wrench and jack, but still using these tools require skilled person. Therefore, it is crucial to have a tool that should designed ergonomically, easy to handle, light weight, require small space and can perform similar task in one time. Unified wheel opener is a special purpose tool use to open/close all the nuts of a wheel at one time with less effort. Although various methods were used for opening wheel, but they required a lot of effort. The main objective of project is to develop a single tool with multiple mechanisms which can be used during assembling/dismantling of wheels in automobile.
